    trailing stop vs. take profit

    Your method only uses price and doesn't account for time (speed) and volume (speed too). Adapting the trail adjustment to incorporate these, would do more justice to the actual market movement. You're now trading of a line-chart, use timed- or volumebars instead. Ursa..

    Selling ATM Straddles

    In fact, hedging short straddles/strangles involves locking in losses te prevent further mishap. This makes it very frustrating for many ppl, since a previous temporary theta-profit is now not inly given back, but locked in as well. Straddles have diminishing gamma moving from the...

    Selling ATM Straddles

    Yes, I'd be curious too. I see nothing evidently wrong in your definitions. Maybe the 'tangent' thingy is a bit dubious, but for the rest.... I always read realized vol as the historical (stat) vol at exp of the option, thus looking backward. Imp vol is not really vol but an expression of the...

    Elaborate Russian Pump and Dump Run Thru IB

    Well, if you made any money with it you now ARE a professional criminal, LOL. Also, don't overestimate the capacities of these crooks. Most of them don't become crooks because they're highly intelligent, you know. Your 'expertise' might be well above theirs already. Ursa..

    Butterfly Lovers, please tell me your secrets?

    There are no riskless butterflies. What you mean is that you pay for the fly by (partly) using the gains you made on the previous short sell. You could also pocket that profit, but instead you decide to buy a fly now. What happened in the past does not make a new position riskless. Ursa..

    Are you ready for a huge influx of the nigerian 419 scam?

    Maybe they fell for some scam too?

    CNBC hitting new lows

    That's correct. Nighttime is better, and early mornings too, all EST. I guess that is because the viewers at those hours don't like being treated like cows. I never have it on anymore, but when I had, I switched it off about an hour before NY opened. Ursa..

    respected traders on ET

    But also see that JH is the most controversial person on this board, as are his 'methods'. Some even think he's a charlatan. You being a n00b, be very vigilant on charlatans in general, moreso since you say you're scared. They eat scared n00bs for breakfast, and the n00b doesn't even notice...

    Iran Strike By US Scheduled For 6th April 2007

    Good point, the oilsands are a possible failsafe. However, the fact that they aren't yet massively explored is also because the oil-price at which this can be done profitably is only just reached, around $60 (I think). And if they are the only source and capacity has to be enlarged fast, the...

    Iran Strike By US Scheduled For 6th April 2007

    I agree the EU is a burocratic monster and I'm all for it to dismantle it, at least to some rudimentary level. The US is doing what the europeans have tried many times before, starting with the Romans, the Turks, Napoleon and Hitler, they all built, or tried to build an empire, and the higher...

    Iran Strike By US Scheduled For 6th April 2007

    The question is not whether they really were within Iranian waters or not (we will never know that) but why this 'mistake' took place. Putting all the improbable evidence side by side my theory is that they were lured into Iranian waters by the allied side themselves, maybe to test the waters...
